Marsha was walking around the still and echoing room. Marsha had knocked over a mannequin was very startled by the face staring back at her and heard voices coming from where the rest of the mannequins were. Marsha was looking around trying to find where the voices were coming from that were calling out her name. Marsha frantically ran to the door, where she found out that she was alone in the department store. Marsha ran over to the phone but it wouldn’t work. She curled up in a ball on the floor and finally the elevator opened and let her out of the creepy room. Marsha was running around the elevator, unsure what to do until it takes her back to the 9th floor.

Marsha wakes up and realizes that the store looks exactly like the 9th floor, empty and dry.  She immediately gets timid and the only human-like figure around her is the mannequins, because the store had closed 30 minutes prior to her waking up.  She starts freaking out and realizes that there is no escape.  She's alone, tired, and had a really freaky day.  Then all of a sudden the mannequin's surrounding her start saying her name.  Marsha got really freaked out and burst into tears.  She was running all over the place trying to find a way to get out of her misery.  She calls for help but there is no answer.  Eventually the elevator door opens and bring's her back up, to the 9th floor.

After Marsha drifted off she wakes up all alone in the store. She walks through the store with no person in sight. The eyes of the mannequins beating on her back. It’s like as if they are talking. The silence is so loud as Marsha reaches for the phone trying to dial a number. Frightened the phone does not work and Marsha continues to walk through the store. As the mannequin moves to touch her, terrified Marsha leans up against the wall. She tumbles into the elevator that was originally locked. Then again it takes her to the 9th floor.

Marsha awakes suddenly  to find she is trapped alone inside of the store after closing. The store is eerily quiet, except for  the mysterious voices calling to her by name. She  scrambles to the front door and frantically pounds the glass, desperate to find somebody to help her out. She notices in the dark store some subtle movements made by supposedly lifeless mannequins around her. Becoming hysterical, she flees backwards to the elevator, which transports her to the unoccupied ninth floor. There, it gradually dawns upon her that mannequins are alive, and that she is also a mannequin.

Marsha awoke to an eerily sight she recognised this place before but could quite put her finger on it; then she remembered, this was the store where she had gone to buy a thimble at. She looked around and at least a dozen mannequins were staring right at her. She tried to get into the elevators but to no avail the stairs were locked as well. She banged on the glass until she got so tired she had to sit down. She finally got up and could feel as if something or someone was watching her. Goosebumps crawled up her arms and made her shiver. Then she hear a blood curdling sound, the mannequins said something, “Marsha…… Marshaaaaaa” she ran to the elevator and finally it opened she started sobbing as she could still hear the mannequins crying her name………..

Marsha woke up. The shopping center is quiet and motionless. She walks around looking for a way out. “Hello” Marsha exclaims, “is anybody there”? No one responds.  She starts to worry. Marsha runs towards the elevator in hope of escaping, she presses the button but the elevator doesn’t move. She runs towards the doors and tries to open them, but they’re locked. “Hello, can someone help me get out of here”? She yells again. Still no one responds. In an act of desperation, Marsha runs around the store looking for any way to get out and sees the elevator man as a mannequin. Marsha is shocked. The mannequins start talking to her saying “Marsha”. She gets frightened and backs into the elevator crying.

In more of a rush now, she tries to open the doorway to the stairs. When Marsha realizes the doors are locked, she begins to call out. “Somebody? Please, I am locked in here. Anyone? I need some help! Anyone?! Please!”  as if she is a damsel in distress. Cautiously Walking around and bumping into mannequins, stunned when the faces of many of them were faces she’d seen that day. Shaken up, she tries to call someone using a phone. Nothing. Suddenly, voices begin speaking to her. Urging her to remember who she was, who she is.
